S.K.I.L. DOJO Training Manual PDF - Downloadable
This comprehensive training manual is designed to guide students step by step on their journey in Shogen Ryu Karate-Do, as passed down to Kyoju Jerry Pilon through the teachings of Kensei Taba and many other internationally recognized instructors.
Spanning over 60 pages, this manual provides a clear progression of forms, written out in detail from White Belt to 1st Level Black Belt, ensuring that students of all levels have a structured resource to study from outside the dojo. Each section is carefully laid out to support:
Technical Growth – Complete written descriptions of kata and forms that reinforce proper movement, timing, and flow.
Curriculum Guidance – A roadmap that outlines belt-by-belt development, making the journey to Black Belt structured and attainable.
Historical & Philosophical Insight – Context into the traditions of Okinawan Karate as passed down through generations of masters.
Self-Study & Review – A companion for at-home practice to complement in-class training.
This manual is more than just a collection of forms—it is a growth companion, helping students deepen their understanding of Shogen Ryu, remain connected to its Okinawan roots, and embody the discipline, respect, and skill that define martial arts practice.
